[Zero Hakaru]

Okay... introductions.

I'm me. I like stuff. I live here. NiGHTS is cool...

What? Oh, you want to know more!? Geez, fine you nosy little...

*ahem*

As stated in my username, I am Zero Hakaru. It's a name with history, it's the only one I've used for ten years. Zero, came from my favorite Megaman character, Zero, and the other, actually came from a sleep induced error in typing "Haruka." The name stuck and I've used it for a decade. Most commonly, it's used for my signature character, a female bard, mostly for fantasy RPs and my own novel series, Dire, that has undergone more rewrites than Michael Jackson has had plastic surgery. XD

If we want to be more familiar with me, my first name is Wes. Wes or Zero, call me however you wish.

Now, from my sig and avvy set, it's quite obvious: I like Power Rangers. Well, not just Power Rangers, but the original Japanese counterparts from the franchise, Super Sentai. I'm a huge tokusatsu fan, big into Kamen Rider and Super Sentai, as well as the few standalones such as Garo, Ryukendo, etc. It stems from a boyhood love of heroes that I'll probably never grow out of.

I'm also a huge anime fan. A few that I like are: Evangelion, Death Note, .hack, Negima, Bleach, Crayon Shin-chan... the list goes on.

Video games is another long list to deal with. I'm a huge gamer, raised with the SNES back in the early 90's. *sigh* Good times. A few game/series I like are: Final Fantasy, Wild ARMS, Megaman, Legend of Zelda, Resident Evil, Phoenix Wright/Ace Attorney, Metal Gear Solid, Kingdom Hearts... another list that goes on.

I'm also a big game importer. Since I have the Swap Magic for my PS2, I can play import games with only one mod: removal of the disc tray's faceplate. Anywho, my import collection mostly consists of the Kamen Rider fighting games and the one, Resident Evil gameplay like Kamen Rider: Seigi no Keifu. I also have Evangelion: Battle Orchestra (Super Smash Bros with Evas!), Itadaki: Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest (Monopoly but cooler), Seigi no Mikata (a game that makes you the director of a superhero show), the Kingdom Hearts Final Mixes, and other stuff. XD Rest assured, the NiGHTS game for PS2 will be added if there's no US release.

Speaking of NiGHTS, I just recently got into it, all because of the random Christmas gift from a friend.

"Hey, you like Sonic right? The good ones of course."

"Yeah, why?"

"Try this, NiGHTS is like Sonic... except you're flying."

"OO!"

That's pretty much the gist of my getting of JoD. XD

OMG!!! OMG!!! OMG!!!
Do you like Maverick Zero, or sane Zero better?
P.R. In Japan is sooooooooooooooo much better than her... Nice, Tommy from Mighty Morphin!

[Zero Hakaru]

Hmm, both Zeros have their own appeal. It's hard to pick one over the other.

And yes, Tommy does rule. Mighty Morphin is the only series of PR that I find better than the Japanese counterpart, Zyuranger.

[TORiAS_the_fallen]

So true, so true....

YOu know more about P.R. Than ANYONE I have ever met, and I mean ANYONE too!

DO you like the green "suit," or White better?

[Zero Hakaru]

Thank my encyclopedic knowledge for slacking off at school during a period where all teachers were subs. Wikipedia reading is fun.

Anyway, I've always loved the green suit. The White's shield just looks like crap to me, and the fact I know that the Japanese version of the White Ranger was actually a child. Kou as Kibaranger was better than Tommy as the White Ranger, just because of all the antics that were chopped from the US version. >>

[TORiAS_the_fallen]

What's funny, is I actually understood that. I agree, the White Ranger's sheild looks like crap.
They messed up the American Version of PR's story is what you're saying?

[Zero Hakaru]

Enjoy my chart:

First Season of MMPR (everything up until Lord Zedd) = Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger
Second Season (Lord Zedd - Master Vile) = Gosei Sentai Dairanger. Although, we borrowed the monsters, mecha, and White Ranger. Lord Zedd was the only original addition, and everything else was still Zyuranger props and costumes.
Third Season (Master Vile) = Ninja Sentai Kakuranger. Master Vile, monsters, and mecha were only taken from Kakuranger. Everything else was either Zyu or Dairanger props.
MM Alien Rangers miniseries = Ninja Sentai Kakuranger. We actually used the team's suits.

So, MMPR was a haphazard splicing of three different Sentai series, all with different plots. It was pulled rather well, except the original plots were never reflected in the second and third seasons.

[TORiAS_the_fallen]

O o.... Know what my knowledge is vast and unbonded of.... MEGAMAN! I know all!

[Zero Hakaru]

I dunno, I'm pretty good on my nerd knowledge of Megaman as well. ^^

[TORiAS_the_fallen]

Hmmm..... let's see.....
Dr. Wily pretended to be an alien in Megman 3.

[Zero Hakaru]

Dr Wily is the cause of all the crap that happens after the Megaman Classic saga.

He creates Zero as an indestructible (supposedly) carrier of the Wily Virus, a virus that would rewrite the entire AI of an infected robot to disobey everyone but Wily, as well as disobey the 3 Laws of Robotics.

The virus, supposedly, is never transferred, until Sigma comes to quell Zero's uprising. He's successful, but ends up being infected with the Wily Virus. The virus incubates within Sigma's system, slowly being reworked into the Sigma Virus which will allow the wide spread infection and cause a greater outbreak of Mavericks/Irregulars.

However, the Sigma Virus isn't as powerful as the Wily Virus would be to a single robot. In order to correct this, Sigma needed Zero once again to get the components he needed to complete it and create the Zero Virus.

Boo-fricking-ya!

[TORiAS_the_fallen]

OH YEAH!!!!!!!!!!! THE INFESTATION OF ALL THE REPLIRIODS HAS BEEN COMPLETED, NOW WE ONLY NEED TO DESTROY THE WORLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
